Not a whine but can we please fix melee? - Page 2

There has to be something different here than other emus, cause in the numerous servers I've frequented previously, I've never received the pounding I do here. Blue cons hit over 90% of the time and do max damage at least half the time.

After a week of going nowhere in game, I'm going to take a break from 1999 but keep my eyes on the board to see if a solution can be reached.

Good Luck my melee brothers and sisters [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you're serious - that's such a joke - lol. Monks were quite good in classic pre kunark. Mages, actually, were rather shunned in groups - seem unbelievable? It's not.

Monk Fists are like 14/30 at level 50, making them the best dual wieldable weapons in the game, minus the fanged skull stilleto, which I believe only dropped from GM events.

Monks useless on this server? So far, unfortunately, yes. On live pre kunark? Heavens no.

That and monks have the highest dual wield % in the game. FD is great to have too. And their kick attacks rule.

I think this guys mistake is not finding groups. A monk shouldn't be tanking, imho.

Thank you for the comment. I am now quitting my monk after hearing that though, as they are worthless.

ya monks are so worthless, they are the only non tank class that can efficiently tank kunark mobs, and they are the best melee class for soloing. all monks out there should just quit

really tho welcome to classic eq brah mobs hit like trucks =D

aww, you quoted me. Now Rogean is going to slit my throat for calling it "PEQ". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just some sort of comment that it is being worked on would help.

All we seem to hear is another version of "Working as intended".

It really is starting to feel like classic now.

I have to admit, it seems weird. I thought it might have been all smoke and mirrors as I leveled my ranger up. Levels 1-7 I was able to take even cons with ease. Now, blues, I need full HP, full mana, and still may have to run. (Did I mention I'm twinked with nearly 300AC and a PGT?)

I can't imagine what the higher lvl melee are going through! Sorry guys 8(

After recently playing on a different classic type server compared to this one. The player melee seem pretty close, a bit off still. But the NPC hit rates were totally different. Here the mobs barely miss and hits for almost max every time. On other servers, their hit rate is much lower. Thats why we can't solo anything with melee. The mobs hit rates are to high here.

You may be on to something about getting hit too much. However, monks would get hit for max damage quite a bit back then (according to what I've seen). I'd expect near the same for non-warriors or non-plate classes.

Are you in full banded? What's your armor?

I remmeber being in blackburrow around 10 and having bought some leather armor that boosted my ac and noticing that my hp went down slower. If increasing your ac does not help in some wya, then I agree that something is wrong.
